Bis Bio

Bis are a Scottish indie pop band composed of Steven Clark (Sci-fi Steven), John Clark (John Disco), and Amanda MacKinnon (Manda Rin), formed in 1994. The band's name, rhyming with 'this', derives from "black iron skyline", a lyric from the song "Twilight of a Champion" by The The. The band broke up in 2003, but re-formed briefly in 2007 for a series of concerts. In 2009 they re-formed again, and released a new album in 2014.

The three musicians formed Bis in late 1994 while Rin and Disco were in secondary school and Steven had recently finished there. After releasing their first singles the following year, they appeared on BBC Television's Top of the Pops in 1996 performing "Kandy Pop" from their Secret Vampire Soundtrack EP ahead of its release.
